Gu Chen nodded with a faint smile on his face. “I’m sure. Just do it. Can you send it to the location I specify?”
The boss immediately smiled and said, “Yes, of course! Just tell me the address and I’ll send it to you.”
Gu Chen told her the location. He carefully held Shen Xi with one hand and then took out his phone to pay.
After paying the bill and telling him the address, Gu Chen left with Shen Xi on his back.
When Gu Chen slowly carried Shen Xi back to the Gu family like a snail, Shen Yan and his wife had already eaten until their stomachs were bulging. Even the nanny and security guards at home had not finished eating.
The moment Gu Chen appeared in the living room, Shen Yan and his wife immediately stood up and approached Gu Chen and his wife with worried faces.
“What’s with Xi? What happened?” Lu Shan was so worried that her voice was about to change.
Gu Chen originally wanted to carry Shen Xi to Shen Xi’s bedroom, but Shen Xi had already been helped down by Shen Yan and his wife.
When Shen Xi got off Gu Chen’s back, Gu Chen felt a sense of loss. He hadn’t carried her enough.
“Xi drank too much. She might be asleep now.” Gu Chen forced a smile.
“How could you let her drink so much? She’s already so drunk!” Shen Yan immediately questioned Gu Chen with dissatisfaction.
Gu Chen admitted his mistake sincerely. “It’s my fault. I’ll persuade Xi not to drink it next time.’
Their voices woke Shen Xi up. Shen Xi looked at Shen Yan and whispered, “l wanted to drink it myself. It has nothing to do with Chen.”
Seeing that Shen Xi was protecting him, Gu Chen’s originally disappointed heart suddenly became a little happier.
At this time, Gu Chen did not notice that all his emotions were affected by Shen Xi’s every move and word.
After a nap, Shen Xi looked much better. The wine had also dissipated a little, and she was no longer in a daze.
“Why did you buy so much?” she asked in a daze as she looked at the barbecue on the table.
Shen Yan and his wife’s eyes instantly turned to Gu Chen.
“l don’t know Uncle and Auntie’s tastes, and I don’t know what’s delicious, so I ordered everything in the stall for two people. 1 also ordered everything according to the three spiciness levels.” Gu Chen said a little awkwardly. “You can wake me up, I’ll call and ask.” Shen Xi smiled. “Isn’t this a waste?”
Gu Chen was afraid that Shen Xi would think that he was wasting money, so he immediately said, “No, I’ll ask Qian Tong to bring it to the others later.”
Shen Xi nodded. “That’s good. I’ll go back first.”
After Shen Xi finished speaking, she said goodnight to everyone and walked towards her room.
Shen Yan and his wife immediately left with their daughter.
Gu Chen looked at the remaining barbecue and felt a headache. Then, he asked someone to clean it up and roast it more before sending it to the Gu family’s old residence.
When the people in the Gu family’s old residence received the barbecue sent by Gu Chen in the middle of the night, the entire old residence instantly became noisy. Even those who were sleeping were called up to guess what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Lin looked at the full barbeque with good meat and vegetables. He frowned and said, “Have you done anything out of line recently? Have you been caught by Gu Chen?”
“No!” The others shook their heads. Gu Qing said, “It’s such a critical period. Who dares to come out and cause trouble?”
“Then what does Gu Chen mean? He didn’t look like the kind of person who would treat everyone to a barbecue just because he was in a good mood. There must be a meaning behind it, or he’s using this barbecue to warn us of something.” Gu Chen’s third uncle a.n.a.lyzed.
“Third Uncle, I think you’re right.” Gu Lin nodded in agreement.
Gu Qing frowned. “It makes sense, but what does he mean? If it was specially ordered for one person, we could have guessed something. But this time, he ordered it for all the Gu family members living in the old mansion. What is he trying to express?”
“Could there be some poison inside?” A junior of the Gu family suddenly said.
Gu Lin looked at the man speechlessly. “No matter how crazy Gu Chen is, he doesn’t want to destroy the entire Gu family. What are you thinking?”
The junior of the Gu family who was scolded by Gu Lin stuck out his tongue awkwardly.
Therefore, Gu Chen had only ordered a large barbecue for his uncles, elders, brothers, and sisters in the old mansion because he did not want to waste it.
Unexpectedly, the old and young people in the old mansion were so scared that they did not sleep the whole night. They were all guessing what Gu Chen was warning them about..
